4:01 am
and welcome to our weekly news review program carrie johnston. well this week saw nato officially announce the end of its aerial campaign in libya starting from next month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities but also tasked with rebuilding the country as well as preventing gadhafi era military stockpiles falling into the wrong hands a tall order and nation flooded with weapons and it's an early reports. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover are in libya their number one fear warehouses are to hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands. tape down passenger aircraft it's through made so our nato allies in
4:02 am
the region which these weapons have been fighting are libyan also libya is quite well armed country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons and its possession and those light weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security and we try to control the bends and we check if there is somebody has work and we ask him if he has authorization for this we are not. the. checkpoints have been set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they don't and what does that mean up for pulse gadhafi in libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under
4:03 am
control and the only thing that we were make some mechanism how to give the weapons what we see something very different i asked the head commander what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know if you. select a unit that is just at the home of the city. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing this. to these other weapons people brought to me today not many walked down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in the green i think just to advance and yeah i think everybody have. some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead and a vacuum. after gadhafi impulse revolt chaos as proof i doubt this just battles
4:04 am
power. what you have now in libya is scores of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used nato to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is the intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions were overthrown good because off the regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the empty sea which could only be good daffy with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said now a r t tripoli but political blogger cost says libya's interim government faces hard times ahead but it will control of the fighters on the ground. people have way too much
4:05 am
faith in the n.t. which is quite obviously not in control of the situation on the ground in libya at the moment and in fact you can see the pension between the n.p.c. commando and some of the more. groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fighters on the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters the long kind of history of from afghanistan on words so this illusion identity has full control on the ground is not actually correct and i would say that events that we are seeing them could be person of factors could be the normal run of wars but maybe another party in libya could have presented their evolution of the earth liberation that's the village of them at aspirations for change and then don't you see that still has a lot of former. associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub of the problem. it's thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam has led
4:06 am
to this area apparently looking to hand him software with international criminal court he's reportedly used a spokesperson to make contact with the hague to deny charges of crimes against humanity some experts think that putting gadhafi his son on trial is the last thing some breaston leaders want to see what his identity expects. to some market he was a man too much secrets which will supposedly be parried with him i think there were tremendous sighs of relief all older capital in western europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want to see him put on trial for any reason and i am not the slightest bit surprised that he was captured
4:07 am
alive if you really quickly ended up here. the return from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him get daphne's now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried could go on for years the history you see. but the shooter dealing with his cost. will go away obviously because of this once that situation was fishing it probably grew tricks it merited believe it was jewish. their interests then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in get that peace rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven play didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship he was six more secret meetings after blair left office his people denying they were about releasing the lucky comma after passing on

4:09 am
